    It's not prefect, but I suspect there are other ways to do it, doesn't seem to be anyone sharing, other than this guy.

    Thats more like PhysX on nVidia card+graphics on AMD card. Far from the same. The point is 2 drivers cant render D3D at the same time.

    So I wouldn't have to sale my card at half price or less, when buying a new one which offers some performance boost.

    If this technology is application-independent like they claim to be, I don't see why this couldn't be used for gaming (except for the ridiculously high price tag).

    If hydra can match the performance ratio of CF then we're in for some nice gains. Finally nvidia users will get real multi GPU performance instead of the monstrosity they call SLI.

    I never said it was, I was replying to the fact that you can mix cards.

    Im not well read on this but it looks like it could be used for GPU processing without the cost of adding in capable mobo, CPU, RAM, etc etc. Give it some HDD storage and an ethernet port and you have a crunching farm.

    They said that their only market was gamers but showing this, obviously it isn't. Also what is the point of this product? GPGPU calculations already scale linearly, in most situations, so what is the need of this?
    Maybe GPGPU is the only way they can get it to scale like they claim

    Or it was requested by the customer(ELSA)? No........ that couldn't be. Why would ELSA put money into this if they weren't getting a gain? Just to lead YOU guys along?

    LOL!

    Lucid Hydra is nothing but positive.

    Finally it will FORCE Nvidia and ATI to come up with GOOD MULTI-GPU SOLUTIONS. Todays SLI/CF is nothing but a big joke. 2 cards works "ok" but not as good as it should. 3-4 cards are just meh,

    No... more like it was stated there was no reason for them to go into that market but yet they did. The fact that Lucid already lied to us isn't a good sign.

    You go into any market where there is demand. Obviously ELSA demanded it.

    What lie?

They said they want to look at the largest market for the part and target that first, and gaming is certainly where that is at. It is physically possible that the hardware and software could load balance other tasks across the hardware, but this isn't something that is currently being explored or developed.

    Why would you make that statement and then almost immediately after, go back on it?

    Where do you get only one display driver from? Are you talking about Vista which nobody cares about?

    Vista+Windows 7. Tried running D3D on both cards at the same time? I guess not...

    33% of people in the last steam survey are running vista. I think you might still be living in 2007.

    Well maybe because it's not terrible. It's been better than XP in all areas (especially stability) since I got it.

    btw, you CAN mix ati and nvidia cards with hydra, but only on XP... on vista it wont work, but thats a MS thing cause they dont allow running 2 seperate 3d drivers...

    yay, vista is so much better than xp...

    yeah vista is like coke zero... sweetener is cheaper than sugar, so they try to force it onto us even tho its terrible and nobody likes it.
    but they keep spamming us with ads of how great it is and people actually start to believe it

    I'll add it to my list of to-do's. Fortunately for me I did not quantify my statement to be Direct3D only and your statement does not qaulify updates or backend work that may allow it to work.

    triniboy - Thanks for the misinterpretation. "Nobody" (by which I mean people who see XP and 7 as better than Vista for requisite use) cares about Vista because 7 is coming and XP worked as well or better than Vista.
